# How we charge

{% tabs %}
{% tab title="Paypal" %}
When a customer buys a product in your store, **you will receive vast majority of your payments directly in your Paypal account (free of charge)**.

The system will calculate when to collect the **5% fees (or 3.8% for the** [**PRO plan**](https://tip4serv.com/pricing)**), by cashing a full payment** corresponding to the due amount on the Tip4Serv Paypal account. 

*Only when the payment is inferior or equal to the due amount.*

**In the example above**, the store owner collected 8 payments for a total of 145€ on his Paypal account.

Then a 5€ transaction took place on November 11th, the system automatically collected it to partly pay the 5%. (5% of 145€ = 7,25€)

It will then requires another tiny transaction to complete the 7,25€ fees, namely €2.25 etc...

**Conclusion**: Tip4Serv collects some transactions to pay the 5% commission. Sometimes the buyer will pay on your Paypal address and sometimes he will pay on Tip4Serv's Paypal.

> This system is temporary and will be simplified in the near future, and intended to work as Stripe does.
